Strategic partnership between TOMRA Food and Haarslev
TOMRA Food and Haarslev have formed a strategic partnership to introduce new sensor-based sorting technologies to the global rendering industry. This is expected to be a game-changer in the industry, enabling renderers and by-product processors to attain unprecedented levels of efficiency, food safety and product quality.
Henning Haugaard, CCO of Haarslev, said: “We see a strong shift in the market towards increasing the end-product quality. One of the main challenges faced by renderers is foreign materials in processed animal protein. TOMRA Food has proven its strength in removing foreign bodies in various ways and is, therefore, the ideal partner for our customers and us.”
Lars Povlsen, Global Sales Manager Proteins at TOMRA Food, commented: “Businesses in the pet food and rendering industry today face the same challenges and demands as those producing food for human consumption. This makes it a natural step for TOMRA to enter this market. Working with Haarslev, which has a great record in supporting this industry, we expect to see more renderers investing in the latest sorting technologies to remain competitive.”
